Chloe has become quite a little mountain goat. Maybe it's our fault for saying that we hope she'll be a rock climber when she's older. We should have known better. When it comes to your children, never never tempt fate! Notable ascents thus far (excuse the photo quality, some of them are cell phone pics - I didn't always have time to grab the camera!) :
She very deftly emptied all the bibs from her drawer, clambered up into it, stood up and found that she could conveniently access the hitherto inaccessible top drawer. Note that the drawer she is standing on is the second from the bottom, not the bottom drawer. Certainly looks like an accident waiting to happen to me!
Adults think that side tables are conveniently placed for resting cups of tea and the like. Chloe thinks they are conveniently placed to climb on. I guess we are both right.
She climbed onto the green chair's footstool via a slight leg-up from the fireplace hearth. Once atop the footstool she crossed over onto the chair, over its arm and onto the table. The radiator, one of our few remaining and rapidly diminishing safe spots for coffee mugs and the like was rendered significantly less safe. The photograph doesn't look too safe either....

She has learned to pull herself up onto the dining chairs. This in itself might not seem too much of a problem. Unfortunately she has also figured out that she can push them anywhere she wants. Add the two together and really, no kitchen counter is safe. Our fruit bowl certainly isn't.
At least I have evidence of her antics if we end up in A&E on a regular basis and people start getting suspicious!
